Tuesday, February 13, 2024 - Bittersweet experience, as Sean Thackrey left us in 2022, and this bottle came from my dad’s cellar, and he departed in 2023.

That said, this was, much like Sean, a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, that took two hours to show itself, then started revealing the mysteries of the universe as told through the lens of an inscrutable blend of myriad grapes. Certainly powerful, the wine also had immense complexity, supported by California sunshine that sustained dark fruit with more than enough depth to carry through for another 18 years. Hiding behind that black fruit curtain was a roaring wood fire, and a dripping haunch of wild game, basted with bacon drippings, and infused with wild herbs and hillside brush. All I needed was a cabin in the woods, and a good book. Magic.
